The document discusses personal learning networks and how individuals can filter, curate, share, and collaborate using various online tools. It notes that networking allows one to not feel alone, gain support and inspiration from others, and learn from what others know, where they are located, and who they know. Various tools are mentioned for filtering information, curating content, and enabling collaboration, including Netvibes, Feedly, Scoopit, Educlipper, Pinterest, Padlet, and Conceptboard.
